Franklins Wanted
Wanted: A Franklin Updated March 13, 2012
I am a new club member looking to buy a Franklin. I prefer the 7 passenger cars and am also interested in the following options: supercharged, double side mounting, 1931 or 1932, gearbox with overdrive, DeLuxe, original or restored, steel wire wheels, rear trunk, long wheel base, series 15, 16 or 17. My second choice would be a car in good condition, post-1931 with not a lot of work required.
If you have a car for sale that fits the description, please email me at the address below and also include your phone number.
Thank you,

1931 Franklin Series 153 Town Car
January 4, 2010
1931 Franklin Series 153 Town Car (serial #53-204634L32) and engine
(#152704). There is some question as to whether the car was manufactured
at the factory as a town car or was converted after the fact into a town
car. My best guess is that it was converted into a town car a number of
years ago as it is listed in the Roster as a sedan, so I would assume
someone converted it into a town car years ago. Particulars on the car
are as follows:
- The drive train is fully restored - engine, transmission, rearend, etc. The engine was done by Joe Gerola, a deceased member of the club who was a mechanic. Joe also restored other Franklin engines. The engine runs incredibly well.
- Bodywork is entirely done.
- The wire wheels are recently powder coated. The tires are fair.
- The car has been entirely rewired.
- There is new glass that has not been installed.
- The chrome is almost completely done. Much of it is still packed up in boxes.
- There are some extras on the car, such as dual rear taillights and the splash guard over the hood front.
- THE CAR IS COMPLETE WITH ALL PARTS - rear tail lights, front lights, hubcaps, etc. To my knowledge nothing is missing.
- The car has wire wheels with dual side mounts.
What needs to be done is as follows:
- Paint. The car has been partially painted - fenders, splash aprons, rear cowl, etc. I have some paint for the car, but it would need to be totally repainted.
- Upholstery. I have the original front seat back. The rear cushions and front seat cushion are in the car.
- Install the glass.
- Finish the divider window or redo it in a different way.
- Top, carpet, headliner.
This is a very solid car that has always been keep in dry storage. In some ways I wish I could keep it, but in order to keep my wife semi-happy, I need to sell it. I have too many projects and too many Franklins. I have owned the car for about 2 years and purchased it as a part of a 2-car deal. Asking $19,500 but I will entertain reasonable offers. Lee Webb, email is preferable at Leland.Webb@gmail.com or 661 599 1670 (cell) or 661 833 1440 (home). Arrangements for delivery might be possible. The car is in Bakersfield, CA.

1930 Series 145 Franklin
March 21, 2009
We have a 1930 Franklin for sale. It is a 145 Series, (125" wheel base),
and is a 4 door sedan. It has an air cooled motor that runs. The vehicle
is complete except for the wood top and a horn button. All of the wood,
top and interior will need to be replaced it has rotted. The seats are
there, windows and lights are there and none broken. We bought this
vehicle as a project to rebuild and now will not be able to do that. We
are asking $10,000 for this car. We researched the web and found many
prices but the lower prices all had missing parts and some had many
missing parts, this car has no missing parts or pieces of the car.
Both seats are there but will need re-built or at least recovered. We
have the old top so you would have a pattern to follow.
